Class of Beverly Hills (#1.0)

I haven't seen this show since I was a kid, basically back in the 90's. And I was pleasantly surprised when after deciding to watch something easy going that will also help my 90's nostalgia this pilot didn't disappoint me. Don't get me wrong, it isn't some sort of masterpiece, but I do my ratings based on the genre and when it comes to teen drama this pilot is a good explanation of why this show is a classic.

Wee are introduced to the characters. Some of them we see more about, like Brandon and Brenda the twins who move to the area and who are the centre of the two main stories. Some less about, but they still get to entertain us. Like freshman David who gets to drive drunk Steve home and messes up his car. This was actually the funnest story of the episode.

I always hear how Gabrielle Carteris was too old to play a teen. And yes, when I look at her profile she is indeed 29. But it is amazing how much she looks like a teenager, at least to me. Maybe it changed in later seasons.

And I must say seeing the old 90's clothes is fun. Some are fantastic, others horrifyingly ugly (like those pants Kelly wore the day after the party in school), but yet it is such a fun to watch.

The lives of rich high school students in Beverly Hills

The show started out promising but quickly deteriorated after Shannen Doherty left the show. After she left, it became soap-operish and melodramatic. I really liked watching it in the beginning because the characters seemed real but after Doherty left, everything fell apart. The characters became rampid wild sex machines who only cared about themselves.

Good - the first time you watch it...
nilobo21 October 2004
I think I started to watch the show when I was 11 or 12 years old (I am now 15). I thought it was great back then. A friend and I talked about it all the time. If I hadn't seen it the day before, she would tell me every detail about it, and vice versa.

At that time I would have given it 10 - no questions asked. Now I'm more like 7. For to reasons. It became to unreal. (I mean, how many has 4-6 friends who have all been drug-addicts, and who have all been dating each other?)I also think that the actors, the screenplays and the plot in each episode became worse and worse, the longer we got towards the ending of the show.

Still it brings up happy memories when I see an episode once in a while. So happy 7 from me:)

A great movie for a great show
DunnDeeDaGreat24 September 2001
Watching this movie makes one see how you can get addicted to the show. When the show first started granted some of the stuff was unbelivable but it got better. It's amazing how much the show changed in the second season everything from fashion and haircuts to the cast and opening titles. The cast was great. Watch it for nostgala sake.

Let's meet the gang!

The pilot episode introduces all the main characters and we get to know all of them. Not everyone's storyline is that interesting (Andrea's and Brenda's is a standout to me. Meanwhile Brandon and Marianne is just too much). The fashion is great, but Kelly's pants (choices were made that day).

Fav scene: when Mrs. Walsh throws the content of a box on the kitchen floor when Brandon is asking about the toaster. Not the strongest pilot, but let's see where do we go from here.

The One Where Brandon And Brenda Move To Town...

I really enjoyed this episode. It's really the only one I can remember really well. I've seen it so many times and it is a great show starter / pilot.

This is my absolute favorite episode of the entire series.

In this episode, Brandon and Brenda, move to Beverly Hills. They're twins and just started going to West Beverly Hills High School. Which is a big difference from where they're from. We see Brenda meet Kelly and Donna, the most popular girls in the school. They become friends. Good for Brenda. Brandon joins the school newspaper. And we meet so many fun characters.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10.

Memories
STEPH4600_KDC2 May 2005
I watched Beverly Hills 90210 since I was in elementary school it has always been my favorite show. It deals with ups and downs you go through in life. My favorite moments were the first four years when Brenda and Dylan were the couple! When Dylan had to choose between Brenda or Kelly! Brenda, Brandon, Dylan, Kelly, Steve, David, Donna, Aundria,are the best! I miss the old cast the further I get into the seasons, the old cast is what made the show so great I believe even without them the show is good but the old cast had the better times and the most memories.I own all 10 seasons and I am still working my way through to the end.

good
steph_hhh839 August 2001
A good movie. I love this show and have watched it since it was on from the time it was over. The movie was good. Brandon and Kelly were my favorite characters in the show/movie. Shannon Dorehty was an okay chartacter for Brenda Walsh. I thought she was rather annoying. Jennie Garth was good at her character (Kelly Taylor). Brandon and Brenda's parents were rather annoying too. They were to old fashion about a lot of things. I give the movie 8/10. It was good. But the show on t.v was better. To bad it had to end, but they can't go on forever.
